Final DQ: Movie was set before 1980

197

Hmm… The “living now, in a way” makes me think of something like Bowman transforming into the Starchild at the end of 2001. Can’t think of another 50s-60s movie with a similar occurrence.
Or getting absorbed into a computer network, but 50-60s feels too early for that sort of proto-cyberpunk story.
Or in suspended animation at the end?

Final 2 DQs
DQ: Story set on Earth?
DQ: Novel well known independently of the movie adaptation connection?
